Slim Browser v4

[prathapml]

How would you have Slim Browser v4.00.2 (listed on MSFN front-page right now) installed unattended?

---- NEVER MIND ----

Found the answer myself. I'll anyway be posting the info for others who might want this:

It uses an NSIS v2.0 installer (same as winamp).

Just run "sbsetup.exe /S" (note the capitalising of the switch) to install it silently.

I found its new look pretty good - worth checking out. Although the interface is a bit cluttered up at first-run, and you need to configure it (cleaning up toolbars) before you'll be able to do anything.

Could someone please clarify this for me?

I noticed that it seemed a lot like MyIE2, Maxthon, Avant Browser, etc. in terms of interface design choice and options offered, and the display of pages. It looks like an IE-based browser.

In other words, it uses the IE-engine (not its own, so its not independent) to render HTML/other pages, and has all/most of the functionality of IE. It is only as secure as the version/patch of IE that you have installed on disk. And if you have ripped out IE-core using nLite, SlimBrowser (or the other ones mentioned above, for that matter) won't work.

Are these inferences of mine correct?

Hello All.

I use this in my final cleanup script to set the settings to what I want. I have setup slimbrowser the way I prefer, and since it saves the settings in the sbrowser.ini file I just copy it. Of special note in the quicksearch folder is a file called menuorder.ini. This file determines the order that the search engines are displayed.

IMHO I prefer to have google first vs Mr. Jeeves

I use the sbsetup.exe /S switch but have not figured out how to kill the folder with the shortcut links in it. A small annoyance but does not look to professional with that folder hanging open..

Any Ideas would be appreciated.

: setup preferred slimbrowser settings

: CD is because attrib does not recognize the %appdata% variable.

cd %appdata%

: attrib is necessary to remove the hidden and read only attribs

attrib -S -H -R slimBrowser\*.* /s

copy "%systemdrive%\apps\slimbrowser\sbrowser.ini" "%appdata%\SlimBrowser" /Y

copy "%systemdrive%\apps\slimbrowser\quicksearch\*.*" "%appdata%\SlimBrowser\QuickSearch" /Y
